  • Container having photographic conditioning solution concentrate
    Patent number: 5578427
    Abstract: A conditioning or bleach accelerating solution can be used to process color photographic films, especially color reversal films, to minimize magenta dye fade while reducing the needed amount of formaldehyde stabilizer. This solution is provided in highly concentrated form and diluted up to 9:1 prior to or during use. The concentrate contains a formaldehyde precursor at .ltoreq.450 g/l, a sulfite at from 0 to 100 g/l, a bleach accelerating agent at .ltoreq.13.5, and a metal ion chelating agent at .ltoreq.45 g/l.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 2, 1996
    Date of Patent: November 26, 1996
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
    Inventors: Ann M. Cullinan, Charles M. Darmon, Rosa P. Sauter, Charles F. Leith
  • Photographic conditioning solution concentrate containing bleach accelerator and formaldehyde precursor and method of use
    Patent number: 5552264
    Abstract: A conditioning or bleach accelerating solution can be used to process color photographic films, especially color reversal films, to minimize magenta dye fade while reducing the needed amount of formaldehyde stabilizer. This solution is provided in highly concentrated form and diluted up to 9:1 prior to or during use. The concentrate contains a formaldehyde precursor at 200 to 450 g/l, a sulfite at from 40 to 100 g/l, a bleach accelerating agent at 1.5 to 13.5, and a metal ion chelating agent at 5 to 45 g/l.
    Type: Grant

  • Photographic conditioning solution containing bleach accelerator, formaldehyde precursor and secondary amine and method of use
    Patent number: 5523195
    Abstract: A conditioning or bleach accelerating solution can be used to process color photographic films, especially color reversal films, to minimize magenta dye fade while reducing the needed amount of formaldehyde stabilizer. These advantageous effects are achieved by including a secondary amine in the solution along with a formaldehyde precursor and a bleach accelerator.
